Hi again, Softdevice is working but I can't select the sound card I want to output too. I don't know what its looking for exactly. My command is sudo LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1;DISPLAY=:0.1;/data/src/vdr/vdr -P"softdevice -ao alsa:intel8x0 -vo xv:full" -Pfemon -Pyaepg [softdevice] ffmpeg version(0.4.9-pre1) build(4718) [XvVideoOut]: displayAspect = 1.334975, displayRatio = 1.333333, PAR = 1.001232 [XvVideoOut]: max area size 2046 x 2046 [XvVideoOut]: using area size 736 x 576 [softdevice] Subplugin successfully opend [softdevice] Video Out seems to be OK [softdevice] Initializing Audio Out ALSA lib pcm.c:2090:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM intel8x0 I have a sound blaster Audigy -0- its my default sound card, or alsa card 0, and I have an intel8x0 sound card as alsa card 1. I tried -ao alsa:1 but it doesn't understand what I want. What device name is it looking for? BTW, I have the sVideo port on my computer setup as a second display on my X-Server, hence the DISPLAY=:0.1 -- this works just fine so far. I only need to output to the second audio card and I'm good to go :) Norm
